service dog in ny state?

[*****]

Your dog is not and will not be a service dog, and to represent him as such would be criminal fraud.

In order for a dog to be considered a service dog, the owner must be legally disabled, and the dog must be TASK-TRAINED to do specific things the handler can't do for themselves because of their disability. Emotional support, cuddling, and similar things are specifically excluded as being qualifying tasks by federal law.
